White to move. How should white proceed?
1. Rf8+ QxF8
2. Qxg6+ Qg7
3. Nf6+ Kf8
4. QE8#
This is the first puzzle from this site that I managed to solve without setting up the pieces on a board.
Nice….White mates in 4.
I suppose it is desperation that enables one to solve this. Heroic measures are called for.

I didn’t know this pattern till I had jobbed a good deal with this one.
1. Rf8+ (only natural looking move) Qxf8
2. Qxg6+!
What else? Of course not gain the queen with Qxf8?? Kxh7 and black’s a and b pawns win.
3. … Qg7
4. Nf6+ (what else?) Kf8
5. Qe8#
